3 Centurion TK50 Centurion TK50 works with powerful award-winning market leading WinCem Graphic Professional. This kiln monitoring software represents the most exciting development in rotary kiln shell scanning information in years... 3D Coating / Brick thickness display The unique WinCem 3D software technology peels away the kiln in layers to show what you really need to see: shell and refractory temperatures, brick wear and coating thickness from any viewpoint or angle. Intelligent design throughout Great care has been taken to design each element of the new Centurion TK50 for optimum performance. The air purge for the high transmission sapphire window was developed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) a technique normally reserved for designing high performance cars and airplanes. The TK50 s super-aerodynamic air purge has been designed to direct the flow of air efficiently and accurately over the scanner window to keep it dust free. Dynamic, multi-region trending WinCem Graphic Professional temperature trending is an integral feature of the user interface. Users can select spot, line or area tools on the kiln shell, and trend temperatures from historical, live or combined historical and live data, to evaluate how a given situation developed and understand how to improve your kiln's performance. VCR style historical playback When operating modern high capacity kilns, faults in refractory condition or coating can develop over long periods of time. WinCem 3D offers a unique VCR style of interface which allows the user to simply turn back time and view a full screen dynamic display of kiln surface temperature or changes due to coating formation over time. Air purge designed with Computational Fluid Dynamics Dense Cement Plants and Buildings For covered kilns where there are roof supports, pillars or obstacles in the line of sight between scanner and kiln, two or more Centurions can be connected to the WinCem software for elimination of shadows and obstructions. Pyrometers can also be incorporated into the system for small and awkward areas. Centurion TK50's new 19 rack mount ruggedised PC interface unit supports up to two scanners, 8 pyrometer inputs, 8 tyre / kiln slip inputs and 12 alarm relay outputs. This unit in combination with the TK50 power and communications module provides much greater flexibility in how each plant decides to install the system. Worst Case temperature tracking The WinCem history manager tracks the hottest temperatures occurring at every point on the kiln shell from light-up to shut-down. This data is kept in an industry standard SQL Server database on the WinCem or plant server computer for ease of access, integrity and availability for automatic security backup.
